Axmouth, The Village 1898

More about this scene
Before railways and metalled roads, there were only two main routes into Devon. One was the gap between the Blackdown and Brendon Hills, and the other was the coastal route, which used the old ford at Axmouth; this was part of the Roman Fosse Way, which ran all the way to Lincoln. In 1803 Squire Hallet built a pier and warehouses at the mouth of the Axe downstream from the village. Two schooners plied a busy trade with London in the middle of the century, but by 1870 competition from the railway had killed off the fledgling port.
